How can I download my charging history from “Session History” on the app or the EVnex website. I generally charge using solar, so would like to track how much I’ve spent on grid power, the percentages solar & grid on a day date basis, or week if day is not an available option?
This isn’t available yet, but we are working on including it in a future app release (no date yet but it’s on the roadmap). I’ll let you know when we launch it.
Kind regards,
Tom
I use sensor.xxxxx_charger_charge_cost to capture the cost of the electricty used into a Utility Meter in Home Assistant. This seems to be grid only cost and does not include solar potential buy back cost. My only problem with it is that I recently changed rates and it still seems to be outputting values using the old rates.
The Evnex ‘Price Settings’ function also only offers one export rate entry. For those of us with FIT rates for peak vs offpeak this doesn’t work so charging costs ex-grid will be wrong in cases where a charging session spans multiple rates.
I solved my problem by adding differently named rates and then deleting the originally named rates.
… now THAT is disappointing!. I had an E2 Core installed last Thursday, and I logged in today to see how to download the data and create a report for July - and there’s no option to do that? ![]()
I’ve seen a few posts by @PedroCassini mentioning to request a CSV file via email, but surely it’s not too hard to download the data to CSV with a date filter as well … I’m just amazed it’s not there at the moment, because how do larger businesses use this for reporting when they can’t download - please don’t tell me they copy & paste all the time ![]()
Larger businesses have a paid subscription to a web portal which enables various status, load management and reporting capabilities. I suspect this is what Pedro has been talking about.
The feature in the works which I mentioned above will bring the reporting capability for an individual charger to the Evnex driver app, which I think will then do what you want.
Kind regards,
Tom
I think that’s the bit I missed/was missed … I was quite clear with the installer that I was wanting reporting for ATO purposes.
This is what I received from the installer, which was a message from Evnex
*Alongside the smart EV charging hardware, Evnex also offers software for managing and monitoring an EV charging network or in this case, just one charger for employee charging at home. This is called CP link.
Evnex’s CP Link | Tutorial
CP-Link
Worth watching the whole clip but from 2.40 it goes through the reports tab of CP link. This feature allows network operators/fleet managers to generate data such as employee charging history, charging related costs and track reimbursement for employees with in-home chargers.
Cost
This software is free for up to 4 chargers, so no ongoing or additional cost to the charger.
Model suitability
Any model in our range*
I watched the video a few times before purchase and I’ve just watched it again - no comment about a paid subscription and the message clearly says “free for up to 4 chargers” and the video clearly shows a CSV download option - that’s one of the main reasons I chose Evnex … it was locally manufactured (NZ is close enough!) and I was able to download the data really easily … but now not so easy obviously ![]()
That capability is what is getting folded into the driver app, and at some stage after that will become unavailable in the CP-Link portal unless you have a fleet manager account.
For now you can log into CP-Link using the same login details as you use for the driver app.
Kind regards,
Tom
To be clear, I’m talking about the download button. It’s explained here https://youtu.be/E8-7i5M5Tl4?si=p0USqra7jfrphH2x&t=215 but it doesn’t exist in my CP-Link.
I think it will be a backwards step to make it “only available in the app”, and one of the main reasons I purchased the E2 Core was the Amber functionality AND the ease (“there’s a download to CSSV button”) of downloading the data.
